Heller will not address the NFA, incorporation, the prohibition of felony status, carry licenses, .45 v. 9mm, which gun for bear or puma, best AR-15, or any of the 100 threads I have seen about Heller.
At least, let's hope they don't!
Let's face it -- machine guns are the third rail of the gun rights movement. The Nine are horrified of the image of Dillon and Klebold with M-4s and frag grenades.
I've seen lots of posts expressing fear that the Court will rule very narrowly. I, for one, hope that they do. A decision saying, (1) The 2nd Amendment is an individual right and (2) DC's gun ban violates this right, so (3) the Federal Appeals Court ruling is upheld, would be the best possible outcome.
Then, follow-up cases before more gun-sympathetic courts (5th District) would have a better chance of fleshing out the "infringed" concept, and applying Miller dicta on suitability as militia weapons to modern automatic weapons.
